European Athletics (EAA) – News – Vote for European Athlete of the Month for March
March was an action-packed month for European athletes, with the European Cup Winter Throwing in Sofia, IAAF World Cross Country Championships and a number of race walking and road races across the continent.
The highly successful European Athletics Indoor Championships in Paris also took place early last month but performances at the event were taken into account during voting for February’s European Athlete of the Month.
Following this, European Athletics is pleased to announce that athletes from 14 countries have been nominated for the European Athlete of the Month award for March.
The European Athlete of the Month initiative was launched in January 2007 and is designed to recognise outstanding performers at all levels of the sport in Europe.
European Athletics names a male and female winner each month and features the athlete on the European Athletics website. Selections are based on votes by the public, the media and a panel of European Athletics experts, with each counting for 33.3 percent of the final vote.
No athlete who has previously served a two-year doping ban can be nominated for or win the European Athlete of the Month.
The voting will close on Monday 18 April at noon CET.
